Posting from the job fair. I’ve got 6 interviews scheduled this afternoon between 11:30 and 3. Should be interesting. I was the 3rd person here this morning when I got here at 5:30. The two before me got here at 4:30. We were all standing out there in the 20 degree weather. Thankfully they opened the doors and let us wait inside at 6. ---

Two loads on the line, one in the washer. Hanging wet clothes when the temp’s in the 30s is hard on the fingers! I’m wearing a pair of texting mitts, but I can’t wear gloves - I need my fingers free. C’mon spring!!! ---

I’d go to the fire ant festival if the organizers were tied nekkid to fire ant beds and covered in honey. I’d pay to see that. The organizers shouldn’t mind doin’ that to entertain me bein’ as they just lurve fire ants so much. 😃 Ok, I know, I know, back to irk bear. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > **swampy** , I’m pretty sure the organizers aren’t interested in your kinks… 😛 I’m just sayin’ that since they lurve them some fire ants, they should be willin’ to give the fire ants a tasty treat. Inventive ways to kill fire ants would also be a fun thing I’d go to see. ---

If she was stil around, my mother would be 77 today. RIP, Mom. On a much happier note, my only blood nephew, Zach, turned 22 today also. My mother was tickled to share a birthday with one of her grandsons, and shares the month with both. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > . . . Just because I knew y’all were curious, here’s a link to the [fire ant festival.](http://www.fireantfestival.com/) Maybe I should pour some molten aluminum over Turner County, Jawja. 😃 I followed the link. They have a “fire ant calling contest” ?? How do they manage that? Still raining here. The forecast seems to think it will keep up through Sunday. It isn’t raining very hard, so I won’t complain. ---

Shed Guy has come and gone. We’ve hired him to do the new foundation and move the shed from where it is to where we want it. Now we’ve got to empty all the crap from the shed - some will be trashed, some will be yardsaled, some will be kept. Time will tell what ends up where… Meanwhile, I’m gonna go play in clay. ---

Break time!!! I threw 6 spoon rests… actually, I threw 8, but I killed 2 and had to remake them. I just brought in all the laundry and folded it. The towels are put away, the rest is in a basket on the bed… So I’m having some sugar-free cherry gelatin. Supper will be sketties because it’s easy. It’s been a productive day. Yay! ---

Howdy from da cave! I removed my foil hat and ended up at Harvey’s to buy a rotissed chikin. I also bought a bag of N.O.T. tots, frozen peas 'n carrots and some rolls. All of this will transform into an easy dindin. Oh, and I bought some ground beast to make into burgers for tomorrow. Irk, well, irk was. Laterz! ---
